Hailed as "essential
reading for any biker tackling his own servicing" by Motor Cycle News, Haynes manuals have an
enviable reputation.
The new manual provides fully illustrated, step-by-step instructions for DIY servicing, overhaul and repairs of the engine and transmission, fuel and ignition systems, suspension and steering, the braking system and the electrical system. Each task is given a spanner rating for complexity and experience required. Checking and adjusting the valve clearances is rated as three spanners out of five.
There are full-colour sections on the history of the models, on daily pre-ride checks and those all-important wiring diagrams, plus tools required and Haynes Hints. For instance, when changing the brake fluid how to tell when all the old fluid has been displaced.
The section guiding readers through the UK MOT test and how to prepare for it will prove invaluable. Other useful information includes how to prepare your Yamaha for winter storage and ready it for the road again in the spring, explanations of technical terms, a guide to fault finding and security considerations.
J Haynes, Managing Director of Haynes Publishing, says: "We hope this new manual will encourage bikers to tackle the work themselves. For many simpler jobs, DIY will be quicker than arranging an appointment to get the motorcycle to a dealer and making the trips to leave it and pick it up again. More importantly, avoiding the expense of garage labour charges and overheads can save a lot of money. An added benefit is the sense of satisfaction and accomplishment that you feel after doing the job yourself." |
